Since the matter seems to be very unclear on the Tripadvisor forums, let me ask the question:
Is Tremblant360.com affiliated at all with the resort?
To be clear, I don't really care if it is or not, as I believe the daily reports are quite good, and with appropriate insight. Of course I can go to the tremblant.ca site and get the same trail info, but I CAN'T get the pictures and some of the blurbs that go along with it.
Maybe this will help clear the air and put the matter to rest.
Do you guys work for Tremblant?

Re: Do you guys work for Tremblant?
We do not work for Tremblant.
We are a small, independent group of Tremblant fans.
Some of us have been skiing here for 'round about 40 years
and we just love the Mountain.
After those almost 40 years of buying passes and lift tickets,
then starting this site, Tremblant has given us access to the Mountain
to do our thing, so to speak. We can not tell you how much
we appreciate that because as basically a hobby, it's expensive
to do all this and we're not rich, so it really helps.
One of the reasons we started it was that we thought the "Other"
sites were too involved with politics and drama when what we
want to talk about is how good the snow is!
The Tremblant Alpine Snow Sports story is our main reason for being
and when you have the quality of design and surface that exists here,
it's an easy story to tell, but at this stage it is a labour of love.
It should be noted here too that a lot of this Mountain exists
much the same way it did in 1938 through 1948, its original
construction phases, which shines through in the character of its
trails to this very day.
It was brilliantly designed to begin with and it has done nothing but
get better since, and our compliments go out to the Tremblant
Mountain Staff that do an excellent job of working with Mother
Nature. Not every day is perfect, but really really close!
This Site's designer/code writer, videographer and Blog person recently
graduated with a degree in Economics from The University of Western
Ontario, a good Canadian business school, but as you know all too well,
the economy is "Challenging" so it's difficult to put that to work.
Part of the idea here then, was to take a lifetime of passion and local
knowledge and put that energy into a "boutique" Tremblant Social
Media platform that could possibly have a future commercial value.
So far, it's just a lot of hard work, so it's a good thing we love to ski
here so much, and that exercise is good for your health, but we hope
for his sake that something may come of it at some point.
Sometimes, if you can't find the right job, you have to go out and make it
yourself. "Entrepreneur" might be the appropriate word there.
As far as the daily reporting goes, Tremblant.ca produces a complete
array of data that is a fundamentally solid core of information and we
see our role as interpreters that can potentially enhance the basics
with insight and pictures, sort of like a daily "SKI" magazine just for
us Tremblant freaks.
The other purpose for the site is to be a high quality, single source archive.
We have books from the 40's and 50's on Tremblant's history, but much of the
60's onward has just disappeared and when you do a Google Tremblant search
you get a billion pages that are difficult to sort.
100 years from now, future historians will be able to have as complete a
single source "Window" into our time here as we can make, including basic
daily stat's to Pic's and videos that capture the "Moment".
We love it here and we hope it shows.
